Statistics

Please see the attached documents for information as to the number of people we have helped in previous years and the current year and the types of matters handled for them.
 
Consequent on the opening of offices outside of Georgetown, separate statistics are kept for each of the 4 offices.
 
The current year documents will be updated approximately every 3 months and the cumulative every 12.
 
You will see that civil matters far outnumber criminal ones. This is because the Clinic's founder members decided that in view of the court-intensive nature of criminal work, the Clinic's limited resources (we started with only one attorney-at-law) would be better used in concentrating on civil matters. The Clinic hopes to be able to expand its provision of legal aid in criminal matters and its capacity to undertake public defender work assigned by the Chief Justice.

The office in Region 5 was not operational for much of 2010 and the first half of 2011 due to lack of support staff but resumed operations in July 2011.
